Actually I'm with BTape on wanting focus to be on the moderation system, but Weighted Voting would be REALLY REALLY nice. Really gives an incentive to make people vote wisely and give correct votes accordingly. I liked the algorithm you had put up, as well.

I would like to see YTMNSFW fixed. Even when I'm logged into YTMND and visit a YTMNSFW site I'm asked to verify my age. I figure it should remember how old I am. After that I'm not able to vote on the YTMNSFW site because it doesn't recognize that I'm logged in. I've seen this problem come and go for quite awhile now so I'm not sure if it is an issue on my end or not. Maybe bring back YTMNSFW.com. RSS feeds for YTMNEWS would be nice. The flash preloader advertising could help if handled delicately.

Now about getting rid of alts well I find that a problem in my case. I like to leave people comments on why their sites suck and as a result I get a fair share of E-venging. now it doesn't greatly effect the ratings of my sites but E-vengers are like mosquitoes and to continue to make ytmnds I made an alt

I'd go for ads in the preloader pretty quickly. It seems like a piece of really good, captive audience advertising real estate that could generate some serious revenue for the site, which clearly it, and you, need. Other than that really the moderation system will be a great help.
Liking the changes to the vote info on the profiles, though ive noticed the line "You've made x total votes with an average rating of y" is now broken. Though I'm sure you saw that too.

No because alot of times people who vote honestly and harshly get revenge downvoted and have poorly rated sites. I contribute alot to YTMND and my sites either are pure crap, poorly rated, or both. Vote weighing based on vote spread, number of votes made, time registered, and comments left would be the best way to reward active members and stop vote inflation by bad users.

Though I'd like the mod system to be finished, it doesn't seem to be an option for this week. User collaborated sites seems like an interesting idea. For example, the authors for We Didn't Start This Website would appear as NeoMatrixClt and Feedrosie. The site would then appear in both of their user profiles. Favorite users would also be a fun thing to add, but the wiki seems to be doin a good job of covering that for now.

Come and listen to a tale about a man named Bocephus A poor Fledgling Bix, barely kept his t-shirt sleeveless , Then To day he was Spoogin out some goo, And up through his fallace come a bubblin brew. Chlamydia that is, The clap, Sh*t f*cking burns.

Well the last thing you chickened ol' Bocepuhus's a legionaire, Van Damme said Bocephus sit down thar Said watch my movie, it's motha f*cking leet So they loaded up the bottle of schlitz malt liquor and had a tasty treat. Legionaire that is, Director Peter McDonald, Greatest movie Ever The Old Bocephus Clapped out Movie Hour!

YTMND Store would generate more income, give people what they've wanted for awhile, allow for more advertising to perhaps more capable users, and make the donations(/downations?) more organized, I guess.
For a money base that idea seems to win for first choice.

I would love to see the ability to get a CC license in there... but only for use outside of YTMND... if you create it inside YTMND you should be able to use it on other ytmnds without restriction (although having the orig owner claim something is cool...) But remember, this may cause fights between users who claim to be the original holder of work... if someone makes a slight change they may claim something and not give credit to the person before them...

The idea of "Downations" is pretty creative. The only issue I would see is somebody donating a lot of money, just to have their site downated off the front page. This may cause some real problems.
Hardcore mode seems a bit too tough---A new user is forced to make a site that, if it doesn't receive a 2.5+ rating, the account gets deleted. Sometimes good sites just have bad luck; this is something to consider.
The issue of accidental deletion can just be handled by...

making a text box pop up in which the user has to type "delete." The private option, I believe, is a very BAD idea...It will lead to many poor quality sites (that will often be about inside jokes), and that's just a waist of space. On the friends list, everything seemed good except for the "sworn enemies" option because that could lead to *ugh* more downvoting. For the "super ugh" groups, I think you can just hold off on those for a little while XD. In my mind, they would not do much to improve YTMND.

The wiki was never intended to be used for user profiles, it was created in the hopes that users would write helpful documentation about YTMND and answer frequently asked questions. Instead most users selfishly just edit their own profile and not much else.

YAY MAX RESPONDED. What I mean by that though is integrating the wiki further into the profile and stuff. Say it was a forum profile, there would be a section for Wiki edits/contributions. Not that I want it to just be a forum profile tho.

Somewhere between forum profiles and myspace/gogaia profiles would be nice. Like, an easy to read one-page profile showing friends, 'about me' stuff, and some ytmnds they made and/or +fav'd.
A less retarded myspace? tho that comparison would prolly just piss most people off

All I can say about profiles is do something similar to facebook (not the new developer plugins, at least not yet) where there is a consistent theme and you can't have your own crazy HTML... I can't stand that about MySpace

Yea, i wouldnt want to see the images plastered all over some YTMNDers 'myspaces' something more like facebook would be a little nicer, i guess. enough information but no hideous fontcolour/backgroundcolour clashing and emo music.

Eh, that would make comments more like a forum. Maybe if the forum and YTMND User-profiles were all linked, then comments, messages and forum posts would all have the same avatar and username. That would work, i guess.

Don't say no to money freely given to make this website be a success. That's just stupid. So certain people donate money to make their site known. Let them. You know they will not always be good, so don't expect too much.

[ USER DELETION ] err the votes thing is crazy maths sh*t so i'll shut up about that but the comments thing i reckon leave the comment there as an anonymous comment because it may have drawn some good responses (maybe even leave their name there but with no profile linked to it - like the "YOU'RE THE 404 OR W/E" site but a generic "deleted user" page)

[ FILE SYSTEM/ASSET MANAGEMENT ] yeah the site size/56k thing would be cool but not something i care about myself - certify/claim to be the creator? people don't even cite their sh*t so don't bother IMO - attaching assets? how about a bigger description box (with hyperlinks enabled) or maybe even integrate the frontpage with the Wiki' & list assets there or some sh*t idk

[ USER PROFILES ] i can hear it now "OH NO MYSPACE F*GGOTRY" well i think this feature is LONG OVERDUE & paying for bigger avatars / more signature space / more sites (limit people to a set amount (sponsored ones get a "free pass" (lol, brackets (etc)))) hey i will say this MYSPACE IS ONLY AS LAME AS THE USER OKAY so bring it on already dude (also add me on myspace people - just search my name :gay: )

[ USER SIGNUP ] more personal data would maybe slightly deter alt-accounts same as TOS (i'd sign) 1 thing with the IP tracking though - i know UK users can share IPs & although i have no alts i know 1 f*cker has posted (or at least registered) from the same IP as me on the forums but w/e - "Hardcore mode" sounds like a step in the right direction (in theory) but just because someone's first site sucks doesn't mean they don't want to improve - get rid of people with NO sites within a week or w/e

Page numbers on Votes tab in your own profile.. would be great to be able to go back and see what you voted for, esp. way before the FAVorites were implemented :/ plz if not too difficult(??) [probably NOT be a good idea on other people's profile, to prevent cheese and whoreage]

Avatars. Or how about pick the easiest thing on the list so the moderation system can get done sooner. Someone come up with a way to attract more talented users like MasterSitsu, syncan, and Fearcondom.

For the deleted comments' children issue, I think it'd be best to keep all the nested comments nested still, and instead of simply removing the deleted comment, have it remain, except the contents replaced by 'This comment has been deleted.'

Well I think the moderation system at this point is probably the most vital feature. However, I guess the feature out everything in the TODO file that might be a valuable addition is User Profiles. Nothing real elaborate though I guess basic information and other fields relating to YTMND would be ok. But I don't need to know that BTape is currently listening to Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend and his current mood is hungry. Nor do I really need to know fourests favorite movies...since I already do.

How about a donation feature similar to /downations/ but a user could sponsor someone else's ytmnd work and, in turn, and by clicking that sponsorship (Im guessing a upper-right hand corner link of sorts) they can get hits to their ytmnd (usually a counter/spoof ytmnd). Users could counter this by donating to either remove or replace the ad, with a donation+x amount, x being of a set amount that could either be donation+1 or some other formula.

This is actually an interesting suggestion. Allowing users to donate on sites that they choose to give them an upper right hand corner link to their own personal site. I doubt many users would be that upset getting sponsored even if the site that their site's tiny banner could link to sucks donkey.

In my Firefox settings I have "accept cookies from sites" - "Until they expire". I'll try this...logging out of YTMND and clearing all of my cookies. I can't remember the last time I've done either of them. If that doesn't work I might just e-mail support@ytmnd.com.

I disagree with downations. Personally I'd be pissed if I spent my hard earned dollars on a good site (which I do all the time, in case anyone's noticed) and someone else donated an equal amount of money to take it away. if I may say so that sounds like a pretty thinly-veiled attempt at garnering more sponsorship dollarz to me, Max.

Make asset pages have a link to the original site & uploader, (not just the last 50). Also, it should take into account users modifying old sites with new files trying to claim they were the original author.

I'll second that, assuming the original site (or uploader) exists; otherwise it should say "Original (site|uploader) not found; earliest (site|uploader) is (sitename|uploadername|'not available')". If not, carry on with the mod system I guess.

If its going to be not-moderation, I would love to see something else that improves the site beyond what it is now. Something easy and non controversial so you can return to moderation system once it is done. I was thinking User Profiles, with things like groups, avatars, and favorite users.

I'd like the 56k option to be worked on next. I'd imagine it wouldn't be too terrible to code (Though I'm not a coder). Maybe you could just have an option under the Account Options that allows you to see the approximate site of the YTMND, that could solve both problems. It would also give you an estimate how long you'd have to wait for the YTMND to load.

Question on search: it seems that the search index is updated infrequently and not very often (almost as though it's triggered manually; I'm guessing the process is resource intensive). Is there a plan to make this indexing more regular, like something done regularly every day or week?

"[ CONTENT BOXES/ALGORITHMS THAT NEED WRITING ] +- Sites that are older than 1 week but have less than 10 votes." I'd like to see this one, just because I've got some sites that have been up for a long time with under a dozen votes. Not saying they're great, but it'd be nice to see how they stack up with a little more publicity. I'm betting a lot of other users could say the same. Maybe they could be sorted by age instead of vote-count.

Not really on the list, but you might want to think about making votes private. Maybe there was a time when it was good know how people voted, but the only effects of public voting are negative from what I can see. Some users are justifiably hesitant to low vote crappy sites for fear of revenge votes, while others simply voat 5 and comment so they get up voted in return. But I reckon you want to shorten the TODO list and not add new things, so I'll just shut up now.

Not trying to repeatedly pump this idea, but giving people incentive to 1 everybody elses sites by making them unanswerable for their votes is a BAD solution. Vote weighting gives incentive to vote honestly and makes people who revenge downvote less of a say in your site.

I didn't see this anywhere on the TODO file, but it's an idea I've had for a while now. Maybe you could implement it so that the creator of a YTMND/YTMNDs can delete comments (not the votes, just the comments) on only his/her site(s). This way, users won't have to bug the moderators every time there's a comments spammer and they won't have to rely on several other users to downvote and hide their mostly nonsensical comments.

Obviously, this method wouldn't stop people from bugging the moderators about the fact that someone gave their site a one star, but it SHOULD, in theory, disrupt some of the traffic flow. I could be wrong, of course.
